Explanation:

Greece is also called the Hellenic Republic, which refers to the time of Hellenistic Greece between the death of Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) and the Battle of Corinth in 146 BC. This all comes from the Ancient Greek word Hellas, which was the original term to refer to what is now called Greece.The Hellenistic period covers the period of Mediterranean history between the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC and the emergence of the Roman Empire as signified by the Battle of Actium in 31 BC and the conquest of Ptolemaic Egypt the following year. The Ancient Greek word Hellas is the original word for Greece, from which the word Hellenistic was derived.
